SHIVANI UJJAINWALFebruary 23, 20230

When the BJP claimed that council members were using their mobile phones to take pictures of the votes during the secret voting and sought new elections, chaos ensued. After reconvening early on Thursday morning, the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) house was postponed for a sixth time as AAP and BJP councillors continued to argue and shout slogans at one another.

Opposition In India Has Miniscule Influence In Elections And It Is Likely To Continue

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 24, 20220

When Suhas Palshikar argues that one party dominates the political landscape, voters follow every election in the hopes that a new contender will emerge to challenge the incumbent. Recent midterm elections in November and December of 2022 were no different. Even the municipal elections in Delhi were essentially treated as if they were for the state assembly. Elections for the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) have gained national attention alongside those in the neighbouring states of Himachal Pradesh and Gujarat. When the BJP, which had previously controlled all three of Delhi's pre-merger municipal councils, was defeated by the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), the latter became the centre of attention rather than the Modi government. A stable dominance of one party leads to churning among ...

Modi May Help A Fractured Opposition Learn The Democratic Connotation!

Sayani ChakrabortyDecember 22, 20220

In spite of setbacks in Delhi and Himachal Pradesh, the BJP's overwhelming victory in Gujarat proved once again that Narendra Modi is to the voting booth what Amitabh Bachchan is to the movie office: an absolute guarantee of massive financial success. The PM's decision to prioritise development above populist handouts was a major factor in the lotus party's resounding victory in the state election. However, the Opposition, represented by AAP and Congress, contributed to the saffron juggernaut by failing to show a united front and splitting any anti-incumbency votes. This made a BJP victory inevitable. The Opposition has often proven to be more divisive within itself than it is with its purported electoral foe. As a result, the dance of democracy, which is supposed to be a planned...

AAP’s Satyendar Jain, 2 Co-Accused Denied Bail In Alleged Money Laundering Case: Deets Inside!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALNovember 17, 20220

Vaibhav and Ankush Jain, who were co-accused in the case, were also denied bail by special judge Vikas Dhull. Dhull had postponed passing the order on Wednesday, stating that although Jain's order was ready, the orders for the other two defendants had not yet been completed. In accordance with the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), Satyendar Jain was detained on May 30 and is currently being held in the Tihar Jail. The ED submitted a request in September to have the case moved from the court of special judge Geetanjali Goel to a new judge, alleging bias, as the bail hearing for all the defendants was nearing its conclusion. The minister allegedly faked his ailment by obtaining a report from the government-run Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Hospital in Delhi, according to the agency.

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 13, 20220

Except for the Telangana Rashtra Samithi, all byelection parties appealed to Indian political dynasticism. In preparation for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections against the BJP, the opposition parties showed their strength in seven by-elections in six states. With a few exceptions, the results were predictable, assuring that legislatures would not alter. BJP retaining Gopalganj (Bihar), Gola Gokrannath (Uttar Pradesh), Dhamnagar (Odisha), and Adampur (Haryana) from the Congress.

Delhi Doesn’t Need ‘Part Time CM’ Who Is Busy In Political Tourism Says Minister Meenakshi Lekhi; Deets Inside!!!

SHIVANI UJJAINWALNovember 9, 20220

On Wednesday, Union Minister Meenakshi Lekhi attacked Arvind Kejriwal, claiming that the city didn't need a "part-time chief minister" who wasn't worried about its issues but was engaged in "political tourism." The Aam Aadmi Party administration had not yet responded to Lekhi's accusations. The senior BJP leader cited RTI responses when he said that the Kejriwal administration had spent only little more than Rs. 272 crore on combating pollution out of the more than Rs. 1,286 crore in environment cess that had been collected over the previous seven years. She mentioned that no money had been set up for employee training or for the construction of infrastructure to combat pollution. “This person (Kejriwal) is doing nothing.

MCD, BMC Elections: Lives Of Citizens At Stake Amid Political Fight In Local Bodies

Sayani ChakrabortyNovember 5, 20220

Local elections are coming up in both Delhi and Mumbai, and the stakes in the political arena have never been higher. In Delhi's assembly elections, BJP and AAP campaigned for MCD in 2017 by projecting images of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, respectively; nonetheless, Delhi voters favoured the BJP. With ties between the Delhi L-G and the AAP administration plummeting, a far more bitter struggle now beckons. As the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) expands its national reach to include Gujarat, the state of Delhi holds its election under a cloud of uncertainty. The BJP has a great chance to take control of BMC as well, which is being run by the Thackeray family for decades. Shiv Sena faced an existential threat from the BJP in the BMC elections of 2017. In 2022...
